i have winrar, and it used to work when i clicked on a rar file. it would just open it (or rather open a window asking where i want to extract it to). now for whatever reason, a window pops up asking me to look on the internet for the file, or search for a file to use from my computer. if i click winrar, it then works as before.

how do i get it to work like it used to? i hate this extra step. thanks. :)

Glad you got it to work!

For the record, to see what extensions are associated with what programs, go to Start > Control Panel > Folder Options, and click the File Types tab. The scanning may take a moment, but here you can view and edit all of the registered file types on your computer.

Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive.
